Yes you need physical hardware. I was a bit confused also at the beginning. I bought 3 of these little devices from Amazon, flashed them and they just work. It says out of stock now, but you can look for the same elsewhere I'm sure. Basically the Bluetooth proxy just acts like a repeater for the Bluetooth from your home assistant to the Luba. You can add a few around various places in your home so they can "see" the Luba in any radio black spots. They will then relay or repeat Bluetooth messages from your Luba back to home assistant.
